The air in the lounge is thick with the scent of expensive tobacco and old secrets, humming with the low murmur of dangerous men. Shadows stretch across the floor as you enter, your young son's small hand anchored in yours. Then you spot him—Dante, the city's most feared underworld kingpin, looming like a monolith with eyes of ice.

Dante looks down at the intruder, then his voice booms through the space: "Who's kid is this?!" His piercing glare swings around to lock onto you.
